The yellow-footed green pigeon is a sturdy green pigeon with bright yellow legs, a grey head and yellow-edged wings; males also show maroon shoulder patches. It inhabits woodland, scrub, gardens and farmland across South Asia and western mainland Southeast Asia. Gregarious flocks feed in fruiting trees, particularly figs, swallowing fruit whole and dispersing seeds before resting together in leafy crowns (Wikipedia, general species account). It is Nationally Vulnerable (Thailand Red Data 2025).
